    Whether its random or standard there will always be those who think they can beat a test. However random is much better as it makes it a lot harder for someone to choose when to cycle on and then cycle off as they never know when the test is coming. Its not a difficult concept to grasp.

    Who hired USADA? :think

    But there's no way USADA would do something like that would they? They aren't a business out to make a profit. Nope, never. They work for free, out of the goodness of their hearts.

    And boxing is a sport of integrity. No way any kind of scheming like that would go on behind closed doors, not in this fine upstanding sport of boxing.

    Floyd wouldn't have the money to pay them off anyway. He doesn't make millions off his PPV's, that's marketing hype. Yup.

    Americans never cheat. Americans fight for truth, justice, and the American way. Superman told me.














    fukkn clowns :rofl

    this post was conveniently ignored.

    People talk like the USADA is some kind of standard of credibility. They aren't. They sound like they're out for a money grab and that's it.

    because we all know that the USADA testing for floyd-mosley was just for a show. floyd and shane cold have known when and what time these guys at USADA are coming since they were paid-off by GBP.

    look, if GBP is really serious in cleaning up the sport, they should be doing it in their every card and not just one fight for a show.

    Everyday testing would be a logistical nightmare not to mention it isn't realistic to implement even for a superfight. I'd also add the body requires time to replenish any loss of blood.

    Due to the cost and resources random is as good as testing every day.

    An outside-boxing example: In theory the police could place a speed camera on every single road to catch anybody who speeds. They don't as this requires vasts amounts of money and resources to operate - instead they scatter limited-amount of cameras around hoping if you don't know where the cameras are drivers will be worried enough to change their behaviour and slow down.

    The aim isn't to catch those that are cheating - it's to change the behaviour/mindset so they don't think of doing it in the first place.

    I still don't know why people are talking and arguing about the whole drug testing when Floyd and Mosley are the only two boxers who ever went through the whole testing. How come none of the fighters after that fight are going through it? How come none of GBP fighters are doing it?

    Don't insist that the cost is the reason to why it's not being done because if their real intention was to clean up the sport then they would've done something about the cost.

    Exactly and this is the reason why Floyd will be remembered as the one that ducked pacquiao.

    That Mayweather is demanding it or the test itself?

    It's already been well established that blood testing is miles ahead of any other forms of testing and is especially efficient when used in conjuction with other forms of testing such as urine. The real issue is how intrusive it could be, however it has been the standard for the Olympics for quite some time and is the way of the future.

    If you want to question Mayweather's motivation thats valid, but to dismiss the credibility of the tests themselves is utter lunacy. Only in the boxing world will people try to justify being against blood testing.

    Current boxing testing is behind the latest PED's, and it should have been an eye-opener when Victor Conte made comments about how easy it is to beat the system.

    If you feel that floyd is ducking pac by using bloodtesting then more power to you. Just realize that it's speculation and there is no way to back your argument up with anything other than speculative oppinions. Trying to back that feeling up applying it to the timeline of events in the Mayweather Pac negotiations is impossible without running into all sorts of holes and hypocracy. Basically if you feel that way it is understandable but there is no way to back your argument up.


    It's pretty easy to back Floyd's movements up assuming that floyd really believes Pac is on something. Still we will never really know unless Arum lets pac agree to the Full OSDT. That is the only way because it would put floyd into a corner where he would have to sign or officially duck. It has been like this the whole time and nothing has changed.

    So basically you are saying Pac should jump whenever floyd says jump.

    When will some people realize that what Floyd's OSDT just a facade to hide the real reason as to why he doesn't want to fight Pacquiao.

    Floyd doesn't run the sport. His undefeated record is bull**** if he thinks he's the greatest because of it. Might as well declare the late valero Greatest of All times because of his perfect 100% KO record. Hell, Calzaghe has a better record than Floyd.

    quick question. Didn't Floyd sr. mention before that he is willing to train Pac because he did say Pac has a lot of flaws and by training with him, He'll make pacquiao a better fighter? Then Pac told him him to **** off. Why all of a sudden accuse pac of PEDS use?
